Effect of contamination and purity priming on attitudes to vaccination and other health interventions: A randomised controlled experiment

In conclusion, this online experiment did not find an experimental effect of priming for contamination and purity on subjects' ratings of the safety and effectiveness of conventional and alternative health interventions. This indicates that attitudes to these health interventions are not influenced by a temporary increase in the salience of feelings of contamination or purity. However, individual differences in disgust sensitivity are related to their attitudes to vaccination and CAM interventions.PMID:34635374 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.09.063
